In a method for image generation in an imaging system which permits an additional sectional image with arbitrary orientation to be efficiently and quickly calculated during the generation of the individual tomograms or sub-volume images, an image data set that represents a two-dimensional sectional image having an arbitrary orientation relative to the parallel slices or sub-volumes is acquired from the three-dimensional volume data set of the image data during the reconstruction of individual tomograms or sub-volume images. A three-dimensional evaluation thus already becomes possible during the measurement and reconstruction.
